Autosave script.

Do I add this script to the default domain page?

Where in the script would I do this.

I have some survey forms that are created on the fly from a database and this would be a great add on should I be able to get it to work.

Looking into getting a comment box [maybe one such as this] for my site.

I installed both your Number Google Results (very righteous) and some other Google customizing extension (maybe CustomizeGoogle extension [customizegoogle.com]), because Google is my universe.

I ended up turning the extension's results numbering *off* because they obviously don't get it, while you obviously do. They numbered only the results that were not indented (the first hit for a given site), so that a page of 100 results was numbered from (say) 1 to 75. Very strange.

Thanks for getting it right.

I appreciate Autosave Forms, and have updated my copy to bind the cookie to location.pathname (the page containing the form), as opposed to the hard-coded "/" of the original script. That way, data for sites that have more than one form doesn't get clobbered. The change consists of changing this:

"; path="/;";

to this:

"; path=" + location.pathname + ";";

at the end of the last line of the clear and setCookie functions.

I also moved the repopulate box further into the upper-right corner of the page, because (even as small as it was), it was in the way.

That's the beauty of the monkey: anyone can get a little grease under their fingernails.

I�€™d propose not clearing the saved form data on the submit.

In a number of cases that data can be desired after submitting. For example, there are BB�€™s that discard your form data if you attempt to post a message before having logged in. It just happened to me with a very long message, and I was so happy to have auto save form. Only to discover that the data is also discarded by ASF on the submit.

Any real downside in letting the data survive?

I modified the script for my personal use, but just thought I'd mention it here.

OK

It's working now. Don't know what was wrong.

I really love this script, and have been immensely frustrated by lost form data countless times.

I'm writing a lengthy reply and tweaking the words to get it just right, something happens, like hitting a wrong key, and bam I've lost everything.

Wonderful script

Thank You.

Comment by Pete_L_P ( )

I've been trying to use this script and have not been able to get it to work. I can never find a "repopulate" button.

I'm assuming that this comment box is a form, and that the "reply to message" pages on various BB sites are forms and that they're all eligible for auto save forms.

I have asf enabled in grease monkey, and have the default * page enabled.

Is there any more documentation?

Am I doing something wrong?

Pete
